Did you know:
Public Relations position was created in the mid-1990s as a way to help the secretarial department with AJEC-CLA’s communication outside of the council and maintain our youth informed of our events and celebrations.
The Missions Leader position was created in Sept 2005 as a result of a resolution being passed and approved to further help the secretarial department with the communication of our counterparts outside of the US. The first person to hold this position was Neycha J Gomez. During convention #58, it was resolved to elect and no longer appointed the missions & submissions leader.
Alumni are our brothers and sisters that were formerly a part of the AJEC-CLA staff. Presently, within CLA there about 50 alumni working as pastors, missionaries (outside of the US), executive members of CLA and local leaders in their churches.
